This week, we speak with Gary McGowan from Triage Method on different methods to help staying on track with your health and fitness goals during the Covid19 pandemic. We discuss how we are working with our clients to keep them progressing with gyms being closed, if building muscle is doable without the gym environment, how to deal with the psychological barriers hindering your home training, and whether or not we feel this pandemic will bring light to the population's valuing of their health and fitness.

This week, we talk with Karl O'Sullivan to debunk a number of fitness myths plaguing the fitness industry. Karl is a personal trainer and online coach from Dublin with incredible knowledge and experience in the field. We discuss myths such as; eating after 6pm, the anabolic window, if it's necessary to squeeze your glutes at the top of a squat or deadlift, old school bodybuilding coaches stuck in their ways, whether or not cardio kills your gains and if fat burning supplements work.

You can find Karl on Instagram and TikTok @dramatickarl or you can email him at [email protected] to learn more about what he does and how he can help you.

The single most common thing a personal trainer will hear in the gym is an issue regarding losing body fat. So many want to lose it, but that same number find it extremely difficult to achieve any means of progress. It's extremely frustrating so in this podcast, I have set several goal outcomes I want you to take from the 22 minute listen

First of all, to understand the fundamentals behind fat loss: Energy balance, calories in vs out and your macronutrients.

The second thing I wanted to focus on was the main issue people have regarding fat loss. The mental aspect. Having a genuine WANT to lose weight, having the right mindset going into a fat loss phase and strategies and lifestyle changes you need to implement for a happy, successful and most importantly, a sustainable fat loss.
